Very tough draw, basically no easy oppenent except maybe for the third round if Pouille manages to lose early. Paire in R1 particularly is a tough opener, but I already thought of him as a potential threat in 2017 and Domi won quite convincingly.
Second round M. Zverev would be okay, but I'd say Popyrin is more likely to win their first round encounter and he could be annoying with his serve on these courts.
Even think Pouille/Marterer will be easier than him, can't see him losing there tbh. Coric also quite tough, but I always thought of this a a favourable match-up. Speed of the court might evens that out though.

Reaching the QFs would already be a great achievievment ofc., even more with that draw and his Doha/Abu Dhabi performances, but I can't see him beating Raonic/Wawrinka either. Against Zverev I'd fancy his chances, but he'd also be the underdog here.

I would not be surprised if there is a lot more to this than meets the eye.
Lahyani and Kyrgios may be in a gay relationship, and Lahyani let his emotions get the better of him.
They both are known for flamboyant behavior, so no surprise if they are gays.
And we know Kyrgios has an unnatural interest in Kokkinakis' sex life, enough to talk about it during a tennis match....
He's probably the only person in the history of sport to talk about his friend's sex during a professional event, so its probably on his mind a lot.
There was also an occasion when Kyrgios cried during an oncourt interview when he said how much he loved Kokkinakis and how much he wanted Kokkinakis to return from injury.

We really shouldn't be mad it took him five sets to beat Paire, instead we should be really glad he somehow managed to win this despite being completely gassed from set 3 onwards, but at the same time also be slightly worried why he was exhausted after 2 hours of play already

If he wasn't ill, now he is hurt. I can't find out exactly what is wrong? Popyrin said he noticed the problem with Domi in the 1st set, but didn't say what he thought was wrong. Domi has a racket meltdown down. He retired in the third set when he was two sets and two games down. He was getting defeated, but what could he have expected with a health issue :shrug:

He's not injured, he was simply nowhere near fit in this tournament. He said his whole body hurt when waking up on the day of his R2 match which was very visible in the game. He also said his heart was racing after every point against Paire, which is weird because the rallies were nowhere near as intense as he is used to. He had a cold in the pre-season, so he maybe didn't give his body enough time to recover from that and is still suffering from the consequences of playing through it.

But we'll have certainty about what was wrong with him soon, he visited a doctor in his homecountry and is now waiting for the test results
